The relationship between art and loss is something that has featured in many of the first 20 episodes of Grief Encounters that have now been published. Whether it is through music, poetry or literature, there is something particular about the theme of grief, that translates so fluently into these creative forms.

This week's guest is broadcaster turned author Sinead Gleeson, who’s new book Constellations - Reflections From Life looks at many things including parenthood, friendship, sickness and grief. Sinead has a huge amount of experience in interviewing the world's best authors and writers through her RTE radio show, and work with some of the many literary festivals around the country. Sitting on the other side of the microphone, Sinead was no different. Funny, kind expressive and articulate are just a number of words to describe her conversation with Sasha and Venetia, marking the 20th episode of the podcast perfectly.
